[@MichaelGilboe]

This is the best and most straightforward discussion on Facebook for musicians I have found. Thanks!

[@iampericotv737]

i agree 100%

[@connorlancaster7541]

Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you and to guide you. KZbin channel Cleveland street preachers and follow Jesus no man no religion. Hebrews 5:9 “salvation is for those who obey. Be holy and obey Jesus.u

[@andressamur3838]

Ive spent so much time looking for music promotion tips and tutorials. Most people out there just give these generic advices like "Create good content!" or "Send to bloggers and Follow up!" All of this basic stupid things that we already know. You guys are actually giving real, concrete and detailed advices, so thank you for that, you got a suscriber.

[@musicmarketing]

Hey, thanks! We have the same frustration, which is why this channel exists. STOKED you're digging our stuff. Welcome to the #IndieFam 💪

[@JEllisJames]

I feel like I'm ACTUALLY starting to get my head around how fb ad campaigns work! Love your delivery and the way you break it down for us.

[@agentcalm]

I'm still lost but I agree, this vid is the only one I found that actually breaks FB ads down to their various sections and options. It is sinking in slowly but I'll need to watch this a few times. Never was a fast learner.

[@littlespiral]

I kind of want to be that one person who dislikes all your videos as a joke but I can't bring myself to do it. This stuff is too good!

[@MokaiMusic]

This is probably the most concise, thorough run-down on youtube of how FB ads manager works from an indie musician perspective. The ads I ran using these methods from Circa got way more attention than anything else I'd tried.

[@Tomauton]

It takes a while to get your head round this but i'm slowly coming to terms with all this. Thanks INDIE Pro!

[@theycallmeheat]

As a music producer who has ran ads & lost alot of money, they definitely gave me more of a perspective on FB ads. Needed this, I will be going back to this video when I create my next ad.

[@musicmarketing]

ayyy! glad to be of service man! Definitely stay tuned - well be doing FB ads 101 all month!

[@ExecutiveDTown]

This might be one of the most comprehensive explanation of Facebook ads and which ones help provide the desired outcome. I listened to this at X2 speed. Information seems legit. I'm subscribing.

[@musicmarketing]

Thanks so much DTown! Weve got an entire series on FB ads, two episodes in with another coming friday =)

[@ExecutiveDTown]

@@musicmarketing 1 year later, you guys should know that this was the video that convinced me to purchase a membership with you guys. One of the best investments I've ever made. I learned a lot. You guys have done a great job. 💯💯💯

[@TheAliadon]

[@guidocroce6278]

[@grahammackinnon7872]

The fact I signed up via Facebook Marketing is a testament to the reliability of all of this. Keep going!

[@TempleBeats]

This is so important to independent musicians and shows you that there are a lot of tools at your fingertips that can really help you grow without spending a huge amount of money with a traditional marketing agency!

[@ColbyJeffers]

I appreciate how purposeful and thorough you are with all your videos. This content is so empowering 💪💪

[@MaxxDiaz]

I can’t even begin to describe how comprehensive and helpful these courses are. I just recently enrolled but I feel like im learning so much.

[@thatweirdkid5759]

6.2k subs!? your content trumps a lot of the bigger pages I see. Keep this up. Very easy to comprehend and stay engaged with.

[@itsalesi]

I had no idea that Fb can optimize ads right down to the best time of day for people to actually view them . This info is beyond gold ! ✨✨✨

[@KevinMacCash]

I just peeked into this video just cause I love the videos you are putting out. All I do really is concentrate on my mail list and I have come to realize that everything is just like an expanded email list. but this helped me to understand that Facebook ads are like a mind blowing expanded email list program. its really amazing!

[@musicmarketing]

Kevin MacCash Truly it is!!

[@Nofrnzclub]

Currently creating a music business, this video has so much information that makes it easier to use Facebook ads! Thanks for all the great info Circa!

[@musicmarketing]

No problem man!

[@tonyltoneentertainment3929]

[@amandaduncanmusic]

Man, this was packed with a lot of stuff I thought I knew, but didn't really know as much as I thought I did. Haha! Every video you're putting up it just knocking it out of the park. Sheesh!

[@musicmarketing]

Thanks so much Amanda! Hella glad you dig it =)

[@kevincorcoran3096]

Indepreneur: forever killing it

[@santynabrar6809]

[@SandraSmall]

This was so thorough and informative! Thank you Circa! You f*&%in' Rock!!!

[@musicmarketing]

YOU f%÷$in rock!

[@shaelangford3353]

The best FB Ads tutorial out there. Very clear and easy to follow. Great work guys!

[@reset_rt]

I can really stand by the Indepreneur method. This was taught in the IndiePro course and goes even further with marketing strategies with the Facebook ads. :)

[@locustface]

You guys are the real deal.

[@maxed_well]

You guys have helped me wrap my mind around the business side of my music SO much in the last month. Can't wait to see what I learn in the next month!

[@ValentineBennett]

I’m an indie pro member. Highly recommend the program. It’s incredibly informative. Love you guys!

[@thewisebloods]

This vid full of value- turned all the fb ad options to music relevance- big up

[@musicmarketing]

Thanks Wise Bloods! Glad it was helpful

[@truability]

It’s great to see the 3 different levels of an ad explained. I’ve made many ads and figured it out as I go, but having them laid out this way and explained was super helpful!

[@voxfaktur8836]

Excellent stuff! I decided to run my first campaign with a messenger button on our latest video (our first and only to be honest :). Just starting out but we are very excited! Thanks for the good work Circ!

[@guidocroce6278]

Thats awesome! Hope it works out. I have experience with fb ads so let me know if you need more help setting up your ads for free [e-mail]

[@ShantiLleone]

Seriously u guys rock. Everytime I watch your videos I learn so much and have to sit there with a notebook - thanks for existing!!!

[@brettorrmusic]

Halfway through FanFinder. Kicking myself that this information wasn't in my brain 10 years ago. Thanks to Circa and the team!

[@jackieferrarimusic]

Great video. This video definitely refreshed and reinforced a lot of information for me. Thanks!

[@josemiguelmolinafernandez4045]

This is the one video that actually gets how machine learning can help (and when it can't), awesome!! It was super helpful to get this point of view!!

[@ViaCJ]

I've personally used this targeting work sheet and it's helped me so much

[@ajnovamusic]

It's weird how so many indies are so willing to shell out $$$ for radio plays, publicists etc but wince at the idea of running their own ads which they actually have more control over

[@dimafakhoury6679]

so glad i found Indepreneur! changing the game and my entire strategy to release my EP this summer. ROCK OOOOONNNN

[@effisummerscreative]

Amazing! Hope it went well :)

[@gooddayexplorer-onlinemusi2120]

Very very good!.... I better rewatch this, haha

[@jessadams5693]

I think of all the FB strategies I'm most excited to crack into utilizing FB Messenger. The interactive aspect just seems like it could be a huge playground for creatives (like everyone watching this video). I always imagine it kinda like a modern day choose your own adventure.

[@chriswhiting8788]

I’ve struggled to get to grips with the whole 3 stage layout previously but this video really helped. Thanks Circa.

[@nzcreator6237]

Dead ass thought you were logic giving out the tips hahaha!

[@ANNAMATION26]

Full Stack Creative is there ANY way I can pay you for your services? I’m an artist and need help on outsourcing my social media profiles and music.

[@betterbreed901]

Man I LOVE the knowledge you’re constantly dropping!

[@dannyhughes2680]

I would rather hire your company to handle all the marketing for me. Let the pro's do there job

[@guidocroce6278]

That's a good strategy too Danny! But it's always good to know the basics. I have experience in fb ads so I'd be happy to help for free. Let me know [e-mail]

Super helpful!

[@ZRJCovers]

Great video!

[@thesuncollective1475]

Very good info..I learned alot Thanks

[@denatalejp]

When I first discovered this company, I knew they were different from all the other "music marketing gurus" out there. Everything they do is thoroughly researched and backed up by data. This is not about getting 10,000 likes and blowing up overnight. This is about daily, measurable progress :)

[@effisummerscreative]

Consistency and authenticity is key 🙌🏼As well as making sure your visual branding is on point 😉

[@connorlancaster7541]

Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you and to guide you. KZbin channel Cleveland street preachers and follow Jesus no man no religion. Hebrews 5:9 “salvation is for those who obey. Be holy and obey Jesus.j

[@luiszapiola355]

Wow so useful.... subscribed

[@tayd9590]

Thanks for sharing all this information , a lot to take in but a good learning process

[@CrackaLackTV]

Helpful man. Thank you. What would you say the amount spent on an ad set is required to optimize the ad set?

[@guidocroce6278]

I'd say spend at least $20 to $30 on the ad set. Then create columns on the ad set section of Price Per Action, CTR, CPC, Engagement rate, Mobile and Desktop, Gender, and finally age group. That will give you a clue on how to optimize the ad. Let me know if you need more help setting up your ads for free [e-mail]

[@cinzafenix08]

Cool 😎 cheers from Portugal 🇵🇹

[@SergeSainteRose]

Great video!!

[@LANGSTONHUGHESIII]

[@musicmarketing]

Glad to be providing help KRBY!

[@azibadaniel4427]

Each time i watch your videos, i always pick important point. Circa as an artist who wants to run a video view campaign, what's the best Facebook optimization should i select between "Thruplay" & " 2 second continous video views". The video i intend using is a 3 minutes video. Your assistance would be highly appreciated. Thanks

[@spatialsoul6207]

It's pretty insane that musicians today have tools that completely allow us to bypass industry gatekeepers in order to reach the right audience for our music!

[@musicmarketing]

Wanna know a secret? - the industry gatekeepers have no earthly idea how to do any of this stuff!

[@iNandobaby]

Thanks so much for providing this value!

[@CatherineMeeson]

thanks heaps recommended over by my friend Suzanne , very helpful explanation of terminology.
